Hydrology

At the Cleurie gauge - four kilometers from the estuary - a hydrological station has been measuring the flow of the river since 1967, which is given as an average of 2.4 m³ per second. Seasonally the discharge fluctuates between 2.8 to 3.5 m³ per second in the winter half-year and only 1 m³ per second in midsummer. The highest value was measured at 51.7 m³ per second during a flood on January 25, 1995. The average rainfall in the Cleurie catchment on the windward side of the Vosges is 1114 millimeters, well above the average for all of France.
